Lords division · 23 Jan 2003 · No. 1

Police (Northern Ireland) Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Glentoran, to leave out Clause 8; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 36

Contents: 106 Not Contents: 142

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 36 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: Viscount Bridgeman (Content), Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Contents (104)

Not Contents (140)
